[charts] It's not possible to import DefaultChartsAxisContent

[micmcg]

Steps to reproduce

Link to live example: https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/pensive-feather-lyg7vg?file=%2Fsrc%2FDemo.tsx

Steps:

1. import { DefaultChartsAxisContent } from "@mui/x-charts/ChartsTooltip/ChartsAxisTooltipContent"
2. axisContent: props => <DefaultChartsAxisContent {...props}/>
3. Get error ModuleNotFoundError: Could not find module in path: '@mui/x-charts/constants' relative to '/node_modules/@mui/x-charts/hooks/useChartDimensions.js'

Current behavior

Error is thrown

Expected behavior

Component should be able to be imported and used

Context

I'm trying to create a custom axisContent component that changes some of the props then calls DefaultChartsAxisContent, in order to bypass the current limitation that both the x-axis tick labels and the tooltip use the same valueFormatter - https://discord.com/channels/1131323012554174485/1131329761952682114/1176399032764092486

Hello @micmcg
The behavior is expected, we do not support 3rd-level imports.
In this case, I think it's up to the Charts team to decide if the relevant component will end up being exported. 🤔

As a temporary workaround if you really need this behavior, consider patching the package. You only need to add an export * from './ChartsAxisTooltipContent'; in the /ChartsTooltip/index.js file. 😉

Is it possible to change this to a request to make the default Slot components available for import then?

That seems like a perfectly reasonable request. 👍
We'll evaluate other options and decide on the best approach. 😉
